Oil leak with Pictures, 270 cdi

Engine oil leaking on to aircon compressor, Does anyone have an idea where its coming from, the steering pump is located above and the oil filter housing to the left but its hard to see where this leak is coming from. I cleaned it all up went for drive and starts leaking again from above. Its not my top boost pipe I replace that. Second picture lower red circle shows an oil drop(ENGINE OIL) annoying me this. Also I've just removed all the boost pipes and clean all the oil out because I suspected they were the problem, but there all in good condition.

The pipe above going in to the Steering pump is dry, I assume the steering pump is oil cooled???? I don't know, Thinking maybe getting someone to rev the engine whilst I look.

If it were my CLK55 I'd look to the oil cooler. Don't know if your engine uses the same cooler system.

I think I can see one behind the oil filter housing, wondering how its leaking so might have to strip it all down to get to it.

Found whats leaking, its the steering pump, not sure exactly where from without taking it off. The fluid was mixing with spilt engine oil on the filter housing.
